At least 3 teenagers have been shot in a drive-by shooting in southeast Cleveland, but none of them are believed to have suffered life-threatening injuries, local officials say. No arrests were immediate made.

The incident happened just before 9:30 p.m. ET on Friday when officers were called to reports of shots being fired near the intersection of East 131st Street and Coath Avenue.

Reginald Lanton, a spokesman for the Cleveland Police Department, said at least 3 juveniles had been shot in what appears to be a drive-by shooting. “At this time the injuries do not appear to be life-threatening,” he said.

Police confirmed that all of the victims are between the ages of 14 and 17. This includes a 14-year-old boy who suffered serious injuries when he was shot in the head, according to initial reports.

Other details about the circumstances of Friday’s shooting were not immediately known.
